Leftblank

It looks like Technorati has a – pleasant – bug at the moment. Of course it’s not impossible Leftblank has a 225 backlinks from 165 blogs, but let’s just say it’s unlikely. Even though I simply love to read ‘Rank: 21,375′ on my Technorati links page, I’m sure I’m not the only one with this [...]

Leftblank has been my weblog for quite a while now already, but I started actively blogging on it back in October. I started blogging for PayPerPost one and a half month ago, closing towards the two months already; it’s time for a recap of my ‘earnings’ so far. I’ve planned this post for a little [...]

While I’ve been posting for PayPerPost for quite a while now, almost two months already, it’s never wrong to look out for alternatives as you never know what might happen with it. For that reason I’ve been browsing on the web some and I came across a PPP-’rival’, named LoudLaunch.
You almost can’t compare the two [...]

Yesterday, my time, my favorite blog author, John Chow, featured my blog in his ‘News from top commentators‘ article. I was quite happy to see he linked to me this time last time he had an action like this I wasn’t one of the lucky few who got featured.

It took me quite some hours to notice, but there it was, a notice on my Wordpress ‘Dashboard’, you know, the page with all those old headlines you see when you login. Two new versions of Wordpress have been released to the public, containing some bugfixes for the current Wordpress 2.10 as well as security [...]

When I first glimpsed at Leftblank this morning I saw a horrible thing; nothing. Apparently the guys at WebXtra (Dutch), my web-host, did some maintenance on one of their server that didn’t turn out as expected: the PHP5 module was corrupt.
The good news though is that it’s all working again now, 10 hours after my [...]

It took me quite a while to get everything ported and converted, but eventually it went pretty smooth, especially due to the fantastic RSS import function of Wordpress, which I unfortunately discovered way too late, but still did its job pretty well.
Anyway; here the website is again, I’ve tried to make it look like an [...]

Today I’ve been “fighting” with my computer and server to get all my posts over from my old MODx website over to the ‘new’ Wordpress powered version. To do so I figured it would be ‘easy’ to use phpMyAdmin to modify my SQL database to gain the format used by Wordpress.
After about an hour or [...]

It’s only wednesday and I’m already thinking about the weekend and possible gaps in my schedule… Not quite the right attitude – I suppose – but I’m also a bit lazy, just like most of the people. Anyhow, this means not much time for blogging nor browsing, not too great either if you ask me.
I’ve [...]

Basically everyone knows the link:leftblank.nl search query on Google; it’ll display a sample of all web pages linking to your domain or URL. Google has never before displayed all the links because they’ve been afraid of abuse; people would be able to exactly calculate the way Google gives pages their PageRank score.
While this is [...]
